We really enjoyed our stay. This home has everything that you could ask for. Very peaceful setting with a ton of wildlife. We would definitely stay here again.
We found exactly what we wanted: a log cabin in the woods with no people around so that the dogs could run free. We took lots of excursions to nearby towns, hikes, restaurants, and beaches. What a great part of Michigan!
We were very happy at Edie's cottage. It's isolated -- which is exactly what we wanted -- and we loved that there were so many acres of woods with trails where we could walk with our dogs. We were grateful that the kitchen was so well-outfitted, and we were delighted with the tv and hot tub. The cottage is also beautifully decorated. We can recommend it heartily for anyone wanting to "get away from it all" and enjoy complete relaxation in a very welcoming space. A lovely experience in every way!
My family and I stayed here for our ski trip to Chrystal mountain, and it was a we fly as described. Very private with 30 acres and the cabin was super cozy! We spent most of our time in the cozy den downstairs with the fire on and watching the snow fall. Exactly what we were looking for and appreciated the stay.
If you like seclusion this is the place. Nice house, with walking trails on property, good location, only 5 minutes from town, 10 minutes from dog friendly beaches, 20 minutes from Manistee. We would stay here again.
The property was beyond our expectations. Our 2 service dogs had chances to be “off duty” while walking the trails with us for miles every day. The home itself was beautiful and comfy.

About the host
Hosted by Edie Enders
Hi and Welcome to Our Cabin Retreat!
I am so happy to share this special place with you! When my dad retired, he built this cabin and spent many years cultivating the land (planted over 2,000 conifers), always had a full garden, and loved to chop trees and make firewood. When he wasn’t busy outside, he spent time in his workshop creating furniture for himself and his friends. His signature piece is the handmade chess table. He also loved sitting on the porch watching his forest pets!
